Property Reviews

Great spot to relaxA guest from Cleveland, OH recommends this property.
Stayed for 8 days in June, 2015 This was a great location and a nice little getaway. The outside has been refreshed and it looks great. The inside is a little dated and dusty, really dusty with cobwebs on the walls. Other than that it was a great vacation for my family. I would stay here again and I hope it would be cleaner and the slots machine works.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you for staying with us and thank you for letting us know about your stay with us. We hope to accommodate you on your next visit to the Smoky Mountains.

Kickback ShackJeanne T. from Clarkrange, TN recommends this property.
Stayed for 2 days in June, 2015 The cabin location, view and layout was perfect. The screened in porch was dirty, cobwebs and wasp nests. There was dryer lint all around the dryer. Old used soap pieces were in the shower. We were charged for extra persos but they had to sleep in chairs because the couch was broken and no way to blow up a mattress. Check in staff was rude to my guests.

The Kickback ExperienceA guest from Lobelville, TN recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in May, 2015 Great place to stay. A few minor repairs are needed here and there but overall it was great. Some sanitizer in the Hot Tub and clearing Wasp nests from the swing would help.

The best vacation everKimberly A. from Bowling green, KY recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in April, 2015 The staff is wonderful so helpful and nice and courteous . The view in the cabin was beautiful. We so enjoyed waking up in the morning looking at the mountains . The cabin had everything u need to accommodate your stay and everything was ready for us when we arrived the air was on and the fridge was ready. The cabin had fresh sheets and didn't have a musty smell. We defiantly will be back.

Thumbs up to Kickback ShackJUDY T. from Fairfield, OH recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in April, 2015 We found it overall very nice and clean. We really liked the floor plan. The deck all the way around the cabin was great. It was really a nice place to bring our dog. We did notice that some of the dishes in the cabinets didn't seem to be very clean, but I always wash all the dishes in the dishwasher before I use them so that wasn't a big problem. Some of the light bulbs were burnt out and should have been replaced. In the description it stated that there was a pinball machine. There was one, but it was broken. All in all was nice and we would rent it again.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you for your positive feedback. We will have our maintenance folks go to the cabin today to repair the pinball machine. We will look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Kickback Shack Indeed!!!Patricia l J. from New Market, AL recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in March, 2015 This home was an excellent pick for us. It was just the right size. We had 3 adults and 2 kids. We brought our dog and even she loved it. The fenced in pet area want s great and handy. The screened in porch was the Venter of our activity when at the house. The Kickback Shack was very comfy and cozy. We will visit it again.

KickBack ShackA guest from Gardendale, AL recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in February, 2015 We really enjoyed the KickBack Shack. However, the Karaoke machine and the gaming machine did not work. We didn't have a need for them, but if you are bringing children, you might want to inform them of this prior to walking inside. Also, you might want to bring a non-stick skillet if you plan on cooking. There were 2 and both really needed to be discarded. Other than that, it was a very nice and comfortable place. We loved the jacuzzi and the whirlpool tub. Both were very roomy.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you for staying with us! We apologize for the inconveniences you encountered with the karaoke machine not working, and the condition of the non-stick skillet, and hope you enjoyed your stay, otherwise! Thank you for sharing feedback about your experience with our cabin rental. We appreciate you, and look forward to your next stay with us!

kick back shackShannon R C. from North Tazewell, VA does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 3 days in November, 2014 My family stayed at this property from thanksgiving day through the weekend. The location was great. Though I would have to say I would not recommend this property to anyone with its current condition. The shower stall leaked and had mold stains. It also had cracks in the liner. Some had tried using calk to patch it. We tried pulling out the sleeper sofa for our children and it was broke. A foam mattress pad had been left folded in g he hallway so we were going to let the children sleep on it only to find when we unfolded it , it was covered in urine stains. The first night we stayed we found the toilet clogged in the downstairs on suite bathroom. Very dissatisfied with this property with the money we paid to stay there.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals We are sorry for any cleaning issues that you experienced during your stay with us! Our records show that you did report this information to our rental office, and the housekeeping and maintenance personnel were sent to take care of these things for you. While it should not have happened, and we do apologize, we are glad that we were able to take care of this for you! Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate you, and hope you will consider us for future rentals.

Stayed for 2 days in November, 2014 We enjoyed our stay at the Kickback Shack so much! The location was close to town but out far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Great location, view and secluded. Give it a Five Star!A guest from Johnson City, TN recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2014 Everything worked out well. Upon arrival, at 6:40 p.m. we were told it was not ready and we could not get the key until 7 p.m. We left & returned by 7:40 and it still seemed questionable. The agent (did not get her name, short female, brown eyes, brown long curly hair) was not at ALL nice about it. Was actually rude to another employee while we were trying to be waited on. I would like to say that "Donna" the agent who helped me on the phone booking this rental was Extremely helpful and very kind while I looked at the rental online. Donna should be given a "Shout Out" if not pay raise or time off! She was awesome!

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals We are glad everything worked out well with your stay with us, and that you enjoyed the cabin's location and its view! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate you, and look forward to your next stay with us!

Ruined our vacation.........GARY A. from ELKTON, FL does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 14 days in April, 2014 We booked this cabin months ago and there was no one at the cabin the few days prior to us and when we got there, we had to wait for them to inspect it. Inspect what. THE outside porches were so covered in Pine pollen you could hardly walk on it without slipping. I spent a long time trying to unravel a hose to rinse it off but the pressure from the hose was poor so just made it worse. Dogs were covered in it. When I tried to vacuum, the smell was so bad I had to turn it off. Inside was dirty (carpets and furniture). Mold in the bathroom and cabin was not in good repair. There were slits in the wall of the shower stall among many other things. Beds were a cheap hard and uncomfortable. The location was good. I found an opened condom wrapper under my sink. Was a bad experience. We have rented other cabins in different areas and never had an experience like this. We rented the cabin for 2 weeks and left threes days early losing money. Never would I recommend this company. I wish I had read the other reviews online first.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you for your feedback about your cabin rental stay. Unfortunately, we cannot control the pollen outside of the cabin, as we do try to keep up with it. I am sorry that you were not happy with the cabin you stayed in. We will make recommendations to the owner of the repairs and/or replacements you have given us. We appreciate your business, and your feedback.

Great Stay 2014Fran S. from Memphis, TN recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in March, 2014 Although this location is older than others we have stayed at in the past, it is really great. The view is spectacular, I love the wrap around porch and screened in room. The beds need some support but over all the stay was relaxing and we plan to stay at this location again if availalble.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Ms. Sorrell, we are glad you enjoyed the view and the wrap around porch outside! We appreciate you taking the time to offer feedback about your cabin rental, and experience with our company. Thank you for your business! We look forward to your next visit.

Kickback ShackDavid B. from Danville, KY recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in October, 2013 The cabin needs some TLC. Very clean but just little items - broken faucet handles, peeling wallpaper, worn padding on carpet on stairs (can feel tacks when walking) and most of all -non working slot machine and karoke machine, which is advertised in the cabin ad as admenities. Deck had cob webs on chairs and decorations. We did enjoy the stay at the cabin but feel added attention to the little things would make it more appealing. Very friendly staff and location. Beautiful views from deck of rental.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals We appreciate your feedback. In many cases, we do not always know about every detail regarding furniture, fixtures, etc. until the guests give us their feedback. Since our housekeepers and maintenance workers do not get to use the cabins in the same capacity that our guests do, they don't always spot everything, which is one of the reasons that your feedback is so important to us. It gives us the opportunity to correct issues we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your cabin experience and for allowing us the opportunity to follow up on your feedback.

Vacation 2013A guest from Zanesville, OH recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in September, 2013 We enjoyed our stay. The cabin and location were great, but the outside could use some grooming. The ceiling fans needed cleaned also. If we visit that area again, we would probably stay there.

Poor vacationA guest from Oconomowoc, WI does not recommend this property.
Stayed for 4 days in August, 2013 Property was not very clean - several spiders, mold in toilet, dog hair every where dirty windows and no clean blankets on bed. Pictures showed several tv's but only one worked. Would not stay again or use Aunt Bugs cabin rentals again because of the way complaints were handled.

Get what you pay for!A guest from Locust Grove, GA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in July, 2013 This was not a bad cabin. Overall, my family and I enjoyed it. We found some items didn't work properly (e.g. karaoke machine, gaming table and stereo. Not major but, need to be removed. Biggest problem was no instruction regarding hot tube operation. Finally found out through trail and error by locating breaker box and flipping on breaker. Instructions located in cabin or around hot tube would have been helpful.

Wonderful GetawayA guest from Hendersonville, NC recommends this property.
Stayed for 4 days in July, 2013 Overall we were pleased with our stay at Kickback Shack. We were there over the 4th of July and enjoyed amazing fireworks from the porch. Cabin was clean and most amenities worked well. For a two bedroom cabin it was very spacious and could easily sleep 8 to 10 if you don't mind using floor space. We were disappointed in the entertainment that was advertised for the house. The slot machine, foosball table and karaoke machine didn't work. Turns out that we were there by ourselves after all but if the other guests had went with us we would have really been disappointed. We still fully recommend Aunt Bugs as we have used them many times over the years. This was probably our least favorite. Thanks for a great time!

Upgrading "shack" to "cabin".DON L. from PERKINS, OK recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in June, 2013 We, spouse and two grandchildren, felt the location was superb and. The condition of the cabin was good to excellent. There were a few minor bumps and dings, but I suspect most homes fall into about the same category. We'd love to go back in the fall or early spring and really "kickback". No problems with " bugs " at all.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear thqat you had a great time during your stay with us. We hope you will come back and see us again soon.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals We appreciate the feedback. I'm very sorry about that. We do have concerns for all of our customers' safety.

Awesome Vacation SpotMyra P. from Asland, KY recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in April, 2013 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kickback Shack. We were there 6 nights. It was cool the 1st couple of days, so the gas fireplace felt wonderful. The views from the cabin were magificant. The pet play area was great. Our dog loved the easy access from our bedroom to the play area. It was also nice to have the entire back parch screened in with doors on each side so she could run around on the porch without being on a leash. Of course, we utilized the hot tub and truly enjoyed the relaxation. We liked the visit so much, we are planning a trip next year and hope to stay in the same cabin!

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you for posting your review. We are thrilled to hear that you had such an awesome time during your visit with us. We would love to have you as our guests anytime and look forward to seeing you next time.

Great stay. Needed maintenance.Daniel C. from Cool Ridge, WV recommends this property.
Stayed for 6 days in April, 2013 It was a great place to stay. Like any older building though, mice get in. The Hot tub and cabin itself needed some TLC, other than that it was great. The hot tub and slot machine were a hit with my family. We would definitely stay again. Location was fabulous. Getting there in the winter months would be tough though.

Kickback shackA guest from Brewton, AL recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in March, 2013 We were pleased with the cabin, except for the cleanliness. The dishes had to be rewashed because of caked on food. Table and cabinets had sticky stuff on them. Everything else was clean and we enjoyed our stay.

We simply can not wait to get back to Kickback Shack!A guest from SUMMERVILLE, GA recommends this property.
Stayed for 3 days in March, 2013 We have been coming to the Smoky Mountains for about 20 years. We always stayed at the same motel with two king-sized beds. It is a nice clean motel with friendly employees, a very good breakfast, and an inside pool. We usually go up to the mountains 3-4 times a year for a long weekend. It began with my mother, my husband, and myself. We began taking our grandson who lives with us about 8 years ago. This year we decided to look into a cabin. As much as we always enjoy our trip, the cabin made our get-a-way like a brand new and deeper experience of what we are always needing and aiming for on these trips. Always before the motel was just where we went back to after the shows and other entertainments we went to while there. This time, going back to the Kickback Shack after our outings was like going back to another relaxing and absolutely peaceful haven. We loved our beautiful surround deck and cooked out while playing in the hot tub. On our first evening there a hawk swooshed down and plucked a squirrel up while we were sitting out on the porch. It was brutal in one way, but a glimpse of nature in the raw that still makes one feel like they have rolled back the time curtain into what our forefathers may have seen as an every day experience. We have always looked forward to what we were going "to do" when we go to the Smokey Mountains. We are planning on coming back and our number one requirement is that we get the Kickback Shack. It made everything else more. Why did we wait so long to try this? The Busbys love the Kickback Shack in the Smoky Mountains.

Property Manager Response:Response from Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review. We are so glad you gave us a chance to show you the cabin experience, and thrilled to hear that Kickback Shack took your mountain vacation to a new level! We can't wait until you come back to visit us again.
